Thanks for that.

Can I ask just as a matter of curiosity, about your answer to point 1.

How do you apply for the extension before the Non-O?

Isn’t the extension, an extension of the Non-O? So doesn’t the Non-O have to come first?

unfortunately, making a claim is the only time when you really know if they’re any good.

EXACTLY! So many recommend a company just because it was all roses when they signed up with them. You can only know if you are with a good insurer when it comes to making a claim. I never take recommendations from anyone who’s never had to claim with said company.

Try their sister company called Avanti. They provide the same cover for a reduced fee for some reason. They also allow you to extend your cover while abroad if you decide to stay for longer.

Depends on usage x the rate you will pay.

If you rent, then the unit rate will be anything from 5 bht upwards. If you own your condo then you will pay the basic government rate of around 5 bht p/kw

I pay 7 bht p/kw and we (x2) only use AC to bring the temperature down a few minutes each time, about 10 times a day. I have fans in living room then bedroom on constantly

while we’re indoors. My electricity bill is around 1300 p/m.
